OK. Are y'all sitting down? This is actually a Schiit related question. And yes, it's coming from me!!

I'm about 99% sure about ordering a pair of Magnepan LRS speakers. The one thing that is making me a teeny bit hesitant is that it seems to be a bit finicky about amps preferring amps that deliver higher current . Is anyone out there running Ragnarok (original version) with LRS and willing to comment on their experience? The Ragnarok thread is pretty sparse as it relates to v1.

Thanks!!

I've had it happen several times with my Modi Multibit. Clears up with a re-boot. I've passed Mimby along to my future son-in-law after I got BF2. I have made him aware of the issue and need to re-boot occasionally.

Funny, I've never had that issue with my Modi Multibit, but got ready to listen one day with the Bifrost 2, and no sound at all. First I thought it was the amp, but after process of elimination determined it was the BF (which was the last thing I suspected). Rebooted, and everything back to normal. These things are just computers for the most part, so the need for an occasional reboot shouldn't come as a surprise.

Hello, me from other country, love Schiit. What is Texas please? What is BBQ please? Do not understand why discuss in audio forum group.
Does it sound good like Schiit?
Love from other country (they do exist).

Think of NC BBQ as The Pancake House in Hengelo.

Power shouldn't be an issue as long as the Ragnarok can handle the low impedance of around 3.3 ohms, and as long as you do not plan to fill a concert hall with them.

Thanks.

It's a small 10'x12' room and I typically listen at 85db w/ the occasional 90db peaks. I never get any louder than that, really. I currently use ELAC Unifi UB5 stand mount speakers that are 4 ohm with a 3.4 minimum impedance. Ragnarok drives them fine, so I'm hoping -.1 ohms aren't a deal breaker. I was concerned with current since folks really seem to key in on that as a deal-breaker with 'maggies'.

Sorry to the general Head-Fi community for my self deleted post.

This is a forum about gear and music. Acrimony has no purpose here.

Good listening.

Oh, it doesn't, does it?

Sounds a bit small of a room for Maggies. Don't they have to be 2-3 from any wall and further from each other?

Yes, that's a known issue with modi multibit, getting the ringing in one channel, that goes away after a reboot. Mine does that as well. Not sure if the later firmwares have fixed that issue. If it did, I would probably request one of those new firmware chips and install it.

I have an MM with the latest firmware. It still gets the ringing from time to time.

I'd love to learn more about The Netherland's. Feel free to jump right on in and tell us more.

The country is so flat you can see from border to border on a clear day!

Excellent education start here:

They said that about Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits as well as Bob Dylan...but somehow all of them made it work.

Well, yeah, but covers tend be sung better. Don't get me wrong - I like smoky Islay whisky and smoky Lapsang Souchong tea, so sometimes I'm in the mood for a voice that has no range or sounds like a gravel truck crashing down a mountain side. But usually I'd rather hear Dylan's "All along the watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix, or Cohen's "hallelujah" by Rufus Wainwright, or Wait's " I don't want to grow up" by The Ramones.

Those three artists are fantastic songwriters, but they are vocal stylists, not really singers.

Plenty I guess. See attached spl calc

My listening room is about that size. I think you'll be fine. To get the most out of them I would recommend pulling them 4-5' away from the front wall.

Supposedly the LRS (4' tall and 14.5" wide) lend themselves quite well to small rooms. My placement would put them at approx. 3 feet from the side and rear walls and approx. 6 feet apart with my listening position at approx. 6 feet from them forming an equilateral triangle. Given that the amp situation seems to be a non-issue, whether my room allows them to achieve a max benefit is only answered by trying them. The 60-day trail offered is my safety net.

Ragnarok v1 is 100wx2 into 4 ohms, IIRC.

Says you. Lots of us feel differently. About what we want to listen to, where we want to live, what real bbq is.

What’s with all the absolutism and gatekeeping here lately? It would be nice if everyone chilled out, listened to something they like. Come back when there is something interesting to say that doesn’t crap on someone else.

forexample, what is the difference between a trombone player and a snake both lying dead in the middle of the road?
